RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Although nasal septal abscesses (NSA) are rare, complications can be significant and devastating. Thus, timely diagnosis of NSA is critical. In this case report, we describe the use of point-of-care ultrasound in diagnosing NSA in a healthy boy presenting with viral upper respiratory infection symptoms and fever. Point-of-care ultrasound findings resulted in expediting this patient's treatment and transfer to a quaternary care center for definitive treatment.
